Which answer below correctly identifies the type of change and the explanation for the mixture of calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid?

A
physical change because even though gas formation was observed, the calcium carbonate retained its original properties
B
physical change because even though a particle size change was observed, the calcium carbonate retained its original properties
C
chemical change because gas formation was observed, which indicated that the calcium carbonate was transformed into a different substance
D
chemical change because a particle size change was observed, which indicated that the calcium carbonate was transformed into a different substance
4

Which answer below correctly identifies the type of change and the explanation for the heating of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate?

A
physical change because even though the change caused the temperature of the copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate to increase, the compound’s physical properties remained exactly the same
B
physical change because even though gas formation was observed, the copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate was undergoing a state change, which means that its properties are preserved
C
chemical change because gas was released along with a color change, which indicated that the copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate was transformed into a different substance
D
chemical change because a temperature change was observed, which indicated that the copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate was transformed into a different substance
5

Which answer below correctly identifies the type of change and the explanation when potassium iodide and lead nitrate are mixed?

A
physical change because the observation of a solid forming is evidence of a state change, which is reversible
B
physical change because even though the mixture had a color that was different from either of the two solids alone, each solid’s physical properties remained exactly the same
C
chemical change because two substances were mixed, which always results in the formation of a new substance
D
chemical change because both a color change and a solid formation were observed, which provide strong evidence of a new substance
6

Which answer below correctly identifies the type of change and the explanation when magnesium comes into contact with hydrochloric acid?

A
physical change because no color change occurred
B
physical change because the observation of a gas forming is evidence of a state change, which is reversible
C
chemical change because a temperature change occurred, a solid disappeared, and a gas was produced
D
chemical change because two substances were mixed, which always results in the formation of a new substance
7

Which answer below correctly identifies the changes you observed and the explanation when a candle burns?

A
physical change because the wax melted and changed shape
B
chemical change because light and heat were formed as the wick and the wax burned
C
both physical change because the wax melted and changed shape and chemical change because light and heat were formed as the candle burned
D
neither a physical change nor a chemical change because the wax only melted and light was produced from the match
